The Sopranos not being top 4 is a slight upset to me. I like it.

 

[McOilers97]

The Sopranos not being top 4 is a slight upset to me. I like it.

Ya, I'm shocked that it didn't make the top 3, let alone being 5th. I think I voted for it to be 5th or 6th though, so all good to me.

We know who the top 3 are for sure now:

[spoil]The Wire, Game of Thrones, Band of Brothers [/spoil]

 

[HanSolo]

I think it may have been last on my ballot but I find it weird that True Detective can be so high on one great season and one meh one.

 

[Hurricane28]

Westworld will be in definitely the top 5 and maybe top 3 when all is said and done. Strong start

 

[HanSolo]

For my money that was one of the best seasons of TV HBO has put out. My hope is they can maintain or build on it.

 

[FLYLine27*]

Westworld should be in the top 3, no questions asked.

 

[McOilers97]

Westworld should be in the top 3, no questions asked.

I held off voting for it because the first season hadn't ended when I submitted my list. I suspect that some others did the same. Looking at it now, it would be at minimum in my top 5.

 

[Caps Circle]

Top 3 coming in now

 

[Caps Circle]

3. Game of Thrones (68 points)

Nine noble families fight for control over the mythical lands of Westeros. Meanwhile, a forgotten race, hell-bent on destruction, returns after being dormant for thousands of years.

2. Band of Brothers (75 points)

The story of Easy Company of the US Army 101st Airborne division and their mission in WWII Europe from Operation Overlord through V-J Day.

 

[Caps Circle]

1. The Wire (83 points)

Baltimore drug scene, seen through the eyes of drug dealers and law enforcement.

 

[Ben Grimm]

2. Band of Brothers (75 points)
The story of Easy Company of the US Army 101st Airborne division and their mission in WWII Europe from Operation Overlord through V-J Day.

Jimi Hendrix was in the US Army 101st Airborne division.

 

[kingsholygrail]

Band of Brothers is just so good.

 

[Diamondillium]

I'm glad there were enough lists to outweigh my submission. I had GoT at #1 but hadn't seen Wire or Band of Brothers so I couldn't reasonably put them on my list. I had feared it would skew the results but I also couldn't put on shows I hadn't watched.
